[D] [A]
[C] [G]
[D] [A]
[C] [Gm] [D] I'm just dust on a dirt road [A] slowly passing by
[C] I've served my time and paid my dues [G] I know my mama tried
[D] And in my share of heartbreak, [A] Lord, I cannot lie
I [C] just keep on keeping on till [G] I spread my wings and fly
[D] I've [C] [G] [F]
[D] [C] [G] [F] [D]
[C] [G] [F]
[D] [C] [G] [F] [D]
been down here for so long, [C] trying to hold on
It's crazy [G] like that dope gang [F] just came along and stole away my lady
But [D] she ain't shed [C] no tears, I guess the drugs made her colder
I [G] just lift my [F] head up, keep it moving, [D] nice to know ya
I'm a soldier, hear [C] my ways from the cradle to the grave
[G] I've seen hard [F] times and chalk lines, the brunts that went [C] astray
[D] I've been baptized [C] and sold lies, sometimes I've been ashamed
[G] Called a bad guy my whole life, [F] I guess I'll [D] take that blame
Used to walk around [C] with my hand out, just hoping for a blessing
[G] Knowing I would do the same [F] if I had it without a question
[D] But them people [C] turned their back on me, I guess I learned my lesson
Now [G] I turn my [F] back to when they're heading my [D] direction
I was just on a dirt road, [A] slowly passing by
[C] I've served my time and paid my dues, [G] I know my mama tried
[D] And in my share of heartbreak, [A] Lord, I cannot lie
I [C] just keep on keeping on [G] till I spread my wings and fly
[D] Well, [C] [G] [F]
[D] [C] [G] [F] [D]
[C] [G] [F]
[D] [C] [G] [F] [D]
I heard them talking off and [C] put my name down here in the dirt
[G] So I decided to kill them softly [Fm] and hit them where it hurts
And [D] I ain't gotta say a word, [C] I just sit back with a smirk
[G] Take a look at them charts, [F] tell me whose [D] name is first
I know it breaks your heart [C] and you probably can't stand [G] it
But all glory to God [F] that the strongest still standing
[D] I've been lost and abandoned, [C] dazed and confused
[G] I've been chiroqued, handed [F] by them boys [D] in blue
I've been walked on and damaged, [C] but boy, I'm telling you
[G] All these haters bout to panic [F] when I step in the boot
[D] So test me and lose, [C] I don't step on no shoes
I [Gm] just step on the gas, [F] spread my wings [D] and cruise
Gotta slow [A]
[C] [G]
[D] down and live, don't let [A] them good times pass you [Dm] by
[A] Cause trouble comes and fades [C] away, [G] till you spread your wings and [D] fly
I'm just on a dirt road, [A] slowly passing by
[C] I've served my time and paid my [G] dues, I know my mama tried
[D] And I'm in my share of heartbreak, [A] Lord I cannot lie
[C] I just keep on keeping on, [G] till I spread my wings and fly
